Folding Fan

For Puella_Nerdii, who has been very patient with me, for Yule.

( Drunk!Cheesecake!Roland, worksafe )

Since it looks like other people are starting to think about it, and since I always seem to take forever on this kind of thing, I'd like to open this post for Yule Requests. Sort of the same deal as before with my birthday mathoms, give me a character/characters and some sort of prompt, and come the end of December I'll give you something, without any promises about what it'll be. You might get a new icon, or a drabble, or a sketch or a full-out picture or story, but you'll have SOMETHING for your stocking come Yule-time.

If you are reading this, you are welcome to ask for something, even if we've never talked before.

Fandoms I'm currently most interested in are:
Saiunkoku Monogatari,
Doctrine of Labyrinths,
Digital Devil Saga, and
Persona 3 (not FES)
Though feel free to poke me about...basically anything else you can think of? Just ask. :) Worst case is I'll ask for a different prompt.

I'll leave this post stickied at the top of my journal until December too, in case you want to come back to it later.

/Edit:Also! Nano. I think I'm going to try it this year. If you're interested, you can comment over here to see what I manage.

Two pairs of drabbles, for Ivoryandhorn and for Regicidaldwarf. Happy Christmas, you guys. <3

Puel? I'm really sorry I'm so late with your Roland. I am working on him! Just. Well. You know. England hijacked my brain. >.> I should have him finished for you very soon though.

For Satsukidesu. Ask her if you want it.

Bonus Corporate Shinra!Mitsuru, to go with the SOLDIER!Akihiko from earlier, for the AU that ate my brain. I picture Akihiko riding bitch on one of the company Motorcycles after work with her, down underplate to where Shinji is waiting for them because he refuses to move top-plate, even though they could. He's probably cooking dinner, which he'll actually eat. And then they can all go curl up in their giant, cobbled-together futon-bed thing with the really nice sheets mitsuru showed up with and neither of them could refuse. Er. Warnings for about half a boobie?

Second of the Yule-gifts from this year's meme. For Laylah, who I hope will forgive me my continuing inability to make Akihiko look like himself. >.> No warnings.

First of the Yule Gifts from this year's meme. Warnings for shirtlessness and spirtles and tattoos. Sheffiesharpe, you are awesome. <3

Second pic of the second seasonal triptych. I'm. Not as happy with this one. But I kind of like the symbolism anyway.

( Midwinter, worksafe )

If you've been around for a while, you may remember roughly a zillion years ago, I did a triptych of Autumn-themed goddesses? I've been planning on doing similar sets for the other seasons for some time now, and...apparently there's no motivation to actually get it done like not wanting to work on Nano? *shrug*

In any case, have the maiden picture from the winter set. ( Pole Star, worksafe )

Probably you'll be seeing the mother picture from this set later this week.

Probably y'all know the drill by now; a list of the Holiday themed fic I've particularly enjoyed (by no means an exhaustive list!) for my reference as the season goes on. You can consider this a recs list, since they're all things I loved and want to read again, and if you know of something appropriate that isn't on this list that you liked, feel free to say something. This is a work in progress.

By Chibirisuchan,
Mistletiptoe set, with the Supplemental Yule Kit. Z/C/S, having an office party.

Drake and Gabriel, of Bijou fame, for Maho_Kiwi. Because Bijou is really shiny. <3 Merry Yule, kiwi.

Her OC, Claest. I'm, um... not sure this is what you were hoping for, but I hope you like it anyway? It was really fun to do; it's been a kind of ridiculously long time since I did a headshot like this. Merry Yule.

(  Claest, Worksafe. )

In other news, if people wanted to leave me a request, I can promise at least a quick sketch and probably a full drawing in time for yule. :)

A little early to be posting them, but... Lol. More as people let me know what they want; probably I won't be able to hold off on them either. :D What? I never said I was cool.

Second of the Christmas Pics to get finished! Tseng of the turks from ff7, for sister_coyote. Thank you, sister, for always writing things that make me go "squee!"
( Happy Holidays! )

/edit: Realized tonight that I'm not really sure what the etiquette is with this; I've been tempted to re-post these in the appropiate comms, since it's a new journal and no one really watches this one yet? But I have a vague sense that since these are meant to be gifts, perhaps I should not. Do any of you awesome internet-peoples happen to know? Got it.

Holiday gift for Laylah! Because her writing is the awesome, and it makes me go <3. Sebastian from the bijou, not work safe.
( Happy Holidays,Laylah! )
